I appreciate all the input, as a newbie on this forum. Thank you. I will look into replacing caps, etc.
As I mentioned I just picked up a pair of SVS Prime Wireless speakers for my new home office. It will be interesting to compare sound. Even though it is a bit apples to oranges, the speakers are new tech, with good amplification and decent DAC.
In a way it is kind of the opposite approach (amp, speaker, and DAC bundled), so i know its not audiophile. But it is what I could afford. I cannot really build two systems right now.
I will test it out with Tidal MQA or other high quality recordings. It will be my first serious comparison where I can really sit and listen for extended periods.
I will also take the advice of looking into local shops to hear new technology. But I doubt that can happen for some time (COVID)...
